Buying with a credit card may be easy, it's also completely unsafe and non-private. My credit card company called me the other day asking whether a few transactions I made were mine. I understand they have to spy but that's only because they didn't make any form a security.
What are you talking about? What do you mean by "unsafe"?! And privacy? We're talking about PayPal vs. CC here. I'd suggest you don't buy underage hookers or blow with either. Jeesh. There are some things Bitcoin can't buy (hookers, blow). For everything else, there's other privacy crypto. |

Took 3 days to download the blockchain for gods sake.
Nobody forced you to be a full node. Just use multibit if you don't want to download the blockchain. Also for android there are light wallets which do not require to download the entire blockchain. Even www.bitcoin.org advises to use multibit |

Get a calculator and look at the spot rates and the retail rates. Never had a card stolen? Great, you're still paying for their insurance to protect themselves.
... Since I don't see the CC charges (those being included in retail prices), I should see a pretty substantial discount when I pay with BTC. How much, do you suppose? |

BTC went pop... that's why it is dying now. This PayPal news is actually terrible because it undercuts OpenBazaar's viability and we need to not be pop... we need a black market. Instead, you can now use BTC on PayPal which will probably carry an even bigger delay than PayPal already has plus an additional fee. You watch. Seriously this is what I think will happen, but feel free to counter.

n00bs everywhere. This forum is painful sometimes. Bitcoin goes from strength to strength. N00bs will be forgotten, their creativity wasted on attacking the ideas of other people.

Hope you all make money. Also, don't decry Noobs and "tourists"... these are the people who either may or may not become new adopters. Really, lay off the personal attacks unless it is an obvious troll piece (a la Falling).

N00bs are people who rather than inspire us to consider things differently, just rehash tired old false arguments against something which isn't perfect but is a lot better and a big improvement.
edit: it's the same with online gaming. A newb says "hey guise, how do I do this thing that you all already know how to do? I'm new and it's confusing me."
A n00b howver says "why r u plai this gaem teh raphics are s00xxxx my ballz." - they say this IN the game.The game they are insulting. It's the same with anti bitcoiners coming into our forums.
Go make a "bitcoinishittalk.org" and have your anti bitcoin circle jerk there. We won't come there I promise!

I just got info that braintree is only implementing a service like 'BitPay'. They say that "We're focusing on the wallet integration for the first release, but we hope to add extra functionality in subsequent releases."

Suggestion #1 -- Alternative markets might be more valuable to BTC than traditional markets due to novelty. Also, in alternative markets, adoption doesn't result in increased selling pressure because the businesses can actually hold their profits in BTC. Suggestion #2 -- Don't attack Noobs who have suggestions or just think the trend might turn out to be different, especially in a "SPECULATION" page, that are different than your personal biases. It was exactly this line of thinking that placed most of us on the wrong footing with the Lawsky piece (it was interpreted as positive because everybody ate up the rhetoric and there was a reinforcing group think rah rah mentality about it). Also, it breeds insularity which is stifling to base expansion. Suggestion #3 -- Wall Street consists primarily of evil slash and burn f---s who are making this entire game a lot less fun to people. Suggestion #4 -- Why do you want people to say the same exact thing over and over again? I'll write something and then come back to it about an hour later and think -- Jesus, that was completely wrong/stupid/etc. That happens. You should want somebody playing devil's advocate, no? |
